Niantic has unveiled exciting new Adventure Effects for Black Kyurem and White Kyurem in Pokémon GO, set to debut during the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Global event.
These powerful effects promise to enhance gameplay and provide Trainers with unique advantages in their quest to catch ’em all.
Black Kyurem’s Electrifying Freeze Shock
By fusing Kyurem with Zekrom, Trainers can transform the Charged Attack Glaciate into Freeze Shock.
Activating this Adventure Effect costs 5,000 Stardust and 5 Kyurem Candy, unleashing electrically charged ice for 10 minutes.
During this period, encountered Pokémon are immobilized, making them easier to catch. Trainers can extend this effect up to 24 hours by using additional resources.
White Kyurem’s Chilling Ice Burn
Fusing Kyurem with Reshiram allows Trainers to convert Glaciate into the Charged Attack Ice Burn.
For the same cost of 5,000 Stardust and 5 Kyurem Candy, this Adventure Effect emits a chilling energy for 10 minutes, slowing the target ring in encounters.
This adjustment facilitates landing excellent throws, increasing the chances of successful captures.
Similar to Freeze Shock, the duration of Ice Burn can be extended incrementally, up to a full day.
Tour Pass: Elevate Your Adventure
To maximize the benefits of these Adventure Effects, Trainers can utilize the new Tour Pass system introduced for the event.
The free Tour Pass allows players to earn Tour Points through activities like catching Pokémon, completing raids, and hatching Eggs.
Accumulating points unlocks rewards and enhances event bonuses, including extending the duration of Adventure Effects.
For those seeking even greater rewards, the Tour Pass Deluxe offers upgraded benefits and an immediate encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Victini.
